About our Golf GPS App: Our Golf GPS App was built BY golfers specifically FOR golfers. Every detail of our Golf GPS App has been carefully thought out with the on-course golfer in mind. When using a golf GPS, it should be as hands-off as possible so the golfer can focus on the golf shot rather than the golf app. This philosophy drives every decision we make in our Golf GPS App. For example: -Our Golf GPS App automatically advances holes as you play your golf round (Auto Hole). -Automatically changes from Hole View to Green View when you get within a configurable striking distance to the green (Auto Green). -Golf scorecard tracks the score for your entire foursome. -Automatically positions the target at your preferred layup distance. -Our Golf GPS App does NOT require an internet connection. This is a true offline golf GPS. You will not be slowed down by a weak phone signal or waiting on satellite imagery to download, and you certainly won’t be stuck out on the golf course waiting for ads to download! -Get accurate golf yardages to ANY point on the map by dragging the target to the fairway, bunker, tree, dog leg or any other point on the map. -Configure the golf GPS map displays and size of text on the maps so you can see them clearly and easily without squinting. When taking all of this into consideration, you’ll spend far less time clicking around with our Golf GPS App than with others. Typically, when you arrive at your ball, you just turn it on and it’s already showing the correct hole in the correct view and you instantly get the information you need.

Love it plus I only need the free version. The first outing of 2025, I couldn’t get the app to find my location. I have an iPhone 11 so I checked location permissions under app setting. It is set to allow while app is in use. I think that’s always been the configuration. What happened? ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2025-03-22, version 3.4.7* The App is no longer working and unable to find website. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2025-03-18, version 3.4.7* The developers website no longer works and the app login no longer works. I don’t know if there was a formal end of life, but it looks like the app is dead. ### 1/5 — GPS app no longer working *2025-02-09, version 3.4.7* Unable to sign in or create a new account. ### 2/5 — Did not put course on *2024-10-24, version 3.4.7* Wrote three times to have a course included. No response nor any email as promised ### 4/5 — Birdie app *2023-04-21, version 3.4.6* Best app for I watch easy to access and use ### 5/5 — Everything you need *2023-03-25* No fluff and no distractions. I get the info necessary to score better without having to go through and dismiss all sorts of prompts. This is a golfer centric tool that seamlessly gives you the info you need. Great work on the user interface! ### 5/5 — Thumbs up 👍 *2022-08-30, version 3.4.5* Impressed with the app & the communication is excellent when requesting a new course to be added. It works on Apple Watch a treat. Would definitely recommend this app either phone or watch. ### 5/5 — Simple,Accurate,GREAT battery LIFE ! *2022-06-29* Very easy to set up and has many great options to choose from !! Comparing it to my Bushnell rangefinders just as accurate !! Battery usage on 18 holes of play (4hrs ) full charge when started 65% left when finished. WOW !!!! I would rate this app for what it offers a 10+ The only option this app is missing which I think is critical is (Voice yardage ) !!!!! Everyone knows it’s Very hard to visually see your Mobile device screen when you are outdoors. A option for approach shots voice yardage inside of 250 yards when you reach your ball would put this app in elite category. Understanding this would probably use a little more battery life but the app as is uses very little !! ### 2/5 — Rusty club *2022-06-01, version 3.4.5* Seldom works properly no matter what the settings ## Frequently asked questions about Birdie Apps ### What does this golf GPS app do?
